Group of States against Corruption releases its report on Albania[04/03/2003]

The Council of Europe Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) yesterday made public an evaluation report on Albania following the decision of the Albanian authorities to waive the report's confidentiality. Prepared in the course of GRECOâ€™s first evaluation round, the report comprises a series of recommendations directed at the Council of Europe member state for fighting corruption. The report advocates, for instance, greater transparency of public authorities through the implementation of legislation on access to public information and documents. Albania is due to submit a report on the implementation of the GRECO recommendations by 30 June 2004. GRECO will subsequently rule as to whether the measures taken by Albania are consistent with the recommendations issued.
